Page 5 - War Declaration News Today

Korea like negotiating a formal end to the korean war, easing minor sanctions and opening up a bare bones diplomatic outpost. two of our own journalists, carol lee, and courtney who covers the pentagon for us wrote, quote, some senior trump administration officials and others involved in theotiations are worried establishing a diplomatic outpost and agreeing to an end of a war declaration in addition to a second presidential meeting for kim would amount to a de facto u.s. recognition of north ko...

At this hour president trump is meeting with the president of vietnam in hanoi. in just a few hours hell have his first face-to-face meeting with kim jong-un. of this summit the two leaders scheduled to hold their second summit to discuss nuclear weapons tomorrow. donald trump is apparently alone among members of his own government in believing north korea is no longer a nuclear threat. most experts cant really imagine the secretive duplicitous dark state ever really doing that. sources tell nbc...

Democratic policies on the border, this is about preserving congresss power to spend money and decide where taxpayers dollars go. all of that is important to watch today. how this vote goes in the house could determine how republican senators actually vote. we already know the majority leader, mitch mcconnell is opposed to the president doing this during spending negotiations last month and has now come around to the idea, many republican senators very troubled. susan collins, a republican fromm...

Even though there is no testing doesnt mean he isnt trying. the intelligence community is clear he continues to develop his missile program and scientific research and hes still building and producing missiles. just because he is not testing doesnt mean he is not trying. >> one of the things we know the north koreans want is declaration of the end of the korean war, whether stand alone or peace treaty. from the united states perspective, whats wrong with that idea? >> i dont think theres anythin...

Will exploit to express radical ideology and individual freedom. the president said he would block anything that came to his desk in that declaration, but will congress vote en masse in the coming weeks? >> republicans in the house today, they dont need to die on the hill, there are enough votes from democrats to send this onto the senate. are house republicans expressing some opposition? >> for example, will herd, texas border congressman said hes been opposed to this declaration from the giddy...

Expectations are very iffy here, because each side has real incentive to move forward on some of these things. but each side also has incentive to do the bare minimum until they see the other side make a significant move. the u.s. would love to see an agreement at the very basic level what denuclearization means. theyre not there yet. they would love to see north korea sign on to freezing its nuclear missile program. theyd love to see a concrete road map to moving forward towards real denucleari...

Short of that. and the other thing that u.s. and north korean officials are talking about is establishing very basic diplomatic presence in each others capitals killed interest sections. is coupled w possible end of war declaration, there is concern that that would entail essentially a de facto recognition by the u.s. of north korea as a nuclear state. and the last concern is that the president has a history of going into meetings one-on-one with world leaders and basically agreeing to things th...

Going to cut a bad deal with kim jong-un. either that could take on several different forms. officials are concerned about denuclearization, for instance. u.s. intelligence shows that kim jong-un has no intention of denuclearizing any time soon. has shown no signs of moving in that direction. the concern is the president will accept one that falls short of complete denuclearization. thats one area in which u.s. officials are concerned. one thing that theyre supposed to talk about with north kore...

Willing to talk to kim jong-un, but we are not crazy of the manner of the negotiations are being conducted and worried it is all going to fall apart. >> what do you expect to happen for this next meeting. do you think it is a good thing that the president is going back and talking to him again. can it put us in a better direction or is arerisks there. one fundamental problem that we have is, people are starting to understand, north korea is not offering to disarm, certainly not in the way that l...

To the possibility of end of war declaration. i think that is a great idea if we can get reciprocal concessions from north korea. i think it would be helpful to let the north korean people know peace is possible and the u.s. doesnt have permanent enemies. we fought a war with china and now allies and a brutal war with iran and now a great economic relation and north korea could be number three at that success if there is success at hanoi. >> a trust deficit here with kim jong-un. lets listen to ...
